Adoption Searches on OWN

The Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN) starts tomorrow, January first. One of the programs that will start later in the year is called “Searching For…” and it is about professional genealogist Pam Slaton helping people (mostly adoptees) to find people that they have lost contact with. OWN says of the series:

Viewers can expect an intensely personal ride when cameras follow Pam and her clients through each step as they track down lost loved ones. Each searcher’s story is different, and the results are unpredictable and emotionally charged. Whether Pam’s clients find a joyous reunion, painful rejection or tragic loss, they all walk away with the closure they were desperate to find.

Pam Slaton’s career as a professional investigative genealogist began nearly 20 years ago. Wanting to find her own birth mother, Pam hired to a professional searcher. The experience was the most devastating of her life, and Pam vowed that no one else should have to go through what she did. She keeps her own pain in mind when helping clients on their journeys. And her results are astounding! Pam has an 85 percent success rate, follows a strict “no find, no pay” policy, and is one of the most sought-after professional searchers in the country.

There will be a sneak preview episode of “Searching For…” on Jan. 1st at 4 PM Eastern. OWN is on DishNetwork channel 189, DirecTV channel 279 and Rochester Time-Warner channel 436. I believe that OWN is part of a premium package of all of those systems.
